LEARN MORE ABOUT MAISON DU FORT
Hotel Maison du Fort is a building rich in history. Its location dates back to 1620, when Samuel de Champlain began the construction of Fort Saint-Louis nearby. In 1650, following the destruction of Huronia by the Iroquois, around 300 Hurons sought refuge near Château Saint-Louis, on land that includes the current site of Maison du Fort.
​
Around 1810, James Black, a decorator, acquired the land and had a stone house built in the neoclassical style. In 1898, due to the widening of rue du Fort, Montreal architect Edward Maxwell was commissioned to transform the building in the château style, inspired by medieval Gothic and French Renaissance architecture. The modifications included a steep pavilion roof bordered by two pepper-pot turrets, a machicolated cornice, and engaged dormer windows.
​
Since its transformation in the late 19th century, the appearance of Maison du Fort has remained unchanged. In 1964, it was designated a heritage building by the Minister of Culture and Communications of Quebec.
